WCDT Strips 3696 - 3700 (12-16 March 2018)
Tova:
Well, this ought to be fun.
poofdepoof:
But I'm busy shipping Clinton and Elliot! :psyduck:
BenRG:
Here we have episode 1, scene 1 of Clinton's new tale: "How I Met Your Robo-Mother".
Seriously, though, it seems to be Clinton's luck through-and-through to end up in the position of having to act the white knight to yet another troubled and pretty woman with whom he probably would be better advised not to want a relationship. I've got a horrible feeling that Jeph is going to enjoy having weeks and weeks worth of strips where Clinton has to puzzle through Roko's mixed messages, possibly whilst she is dating someone else.
As for this week, I'm expecting Clinton to be a gentleman and help Roko get home. As her coordination is all shot, he has to plug her into her charger and, unfortunately, she grabs hold of him for balance (whilst lying down - her balance is that shot thanks to the electro-booze) and slips into 'sleep' mode with Clinton still held in a death-grip. With her short-term memory also shot, this leads to some comedic misunderstanding next morning. Clinton is, again, going to be accused of taking advantage, this time with this clear implication that the alleged victim is sort of disappointed when she realises that he didn't take advantage.
Long-term, I'm expecting Clinton and Roko to become 'heterosexual platonic best buddies' - A man and a woman who hang out together and have a sometimes-salty and sometimes-emotionally intimate friendship but who are always skirting around going the next step to the point of dating other people (and being sure that the other's Significant Other is 'not good enough for them'). In other words, as I indicated with my opening remarks, this is going to turn into a long, drawn-out romantic comedy.

No. Bubbles, Momo and May are the front runners right now, and Bubbles is the newest of those with only some 3 years since her introduction (#3003 in 2015). Even May has been around for 5 years (#2491 in 2013). Pintsize on the other hand was always a way of bringing comic relief into the story but with an expanded cast there is so much story to tell that his comic relief has become the only thing we see of him whereas almost all other AIs have had storylines where their respective characters are explored giving us insight into their lives. We haven't seen anything like that with Pintsize. Ever.
Cornelius:
It's kind of sad, though, that even Spaceship gets more votes than Pintsize.
